Helpful things to know about North Carolina’s Trespassing Laws to confirm before reporting it to the police:

- Unless a tenant’s lease denies the tenant the authority to extend invitations, a guest who enters premises at the invitation of the tenant is not guilty of trespass, even if the landlord has told the guest not to enter.

- “Premises” include the entire piece of real estate—not just the building, but the land as well. - Premises include, for example, an unfenced front yard.

- If a homeowner tells a defendant to leave the homeowner’s front yard and the defendant refuses, or if a homeowner tells a defendant never to come back onto the homeowner’s property but the defendant re-enters the property.

- Premises are posted in a manner reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders, with notice not to enter the premises.
